Do you have engine pans? I had overheating issues and went back to the pans and a new 2-bladed fan. Then I had a problem getting her up to operating temp (she ran at about 120*), so I added a thermostat and now she happily stays at 160*. My radiator is the original and has been boiled out and cleaned at a radiator shop. My coolant level stays just above the radiator fins and I use a 50/50 premix of antifreeze/coolant.

Good luck.
